I know the American 57 is longer but is it wider also? If it is wider that would mean the bumpers are not interchangeable along with the hood nose chrome correct? Looking to buy a good hood and tailgate ornament as mine are pitted bad. Thanks -- Edited by Canwag57 on Wednesday 22nd of August 2018 09:03:3...

Looking through a factory brochure on this site I see a Pontiac script used mounted above the front wheel opening.My car doesn't have this script so I was wondering if it was dropped for production?

Took some rubbing compound to a section on the quarter panel to see if the old paint would come back to life after 61 years and was surprised at the results. Here is a picture showing the area worked on.

Does anyone know if the shape of the wheel opening on a 57 Pontiac 4 door wagon is the same as the 57 Chevy wagon?if so will the Chevy skirts fit the Pontiac? Will a Chevy sun visor fit the Pontiac as the roof looks the same to me from pictures? Thanks

Hey there I'm a brand new member who has recently acquired a 1954 Pontiac Laurentian. My main issue right now is the windshield needs to be replaced and I'm not sure what my options are on a replacement. Apart from the same year and model, does anyone know what other years and models would fit? Any advice...

Refurbishing the hood latch and noticed that the safety or second latch is made up of multiple layers of rubber where it catches on the hood. This can't be stock is it? Does anyone have a pic of this catch that sits on the hood? Does it just catch on edge of hood? -- Edited by cdnwillyg on Friday 30th of June 2...

Since I replaced my rocker panels on the SD, I've lost the original hole pattern for the stainless rocker trim. I'm sure the distance from the door bottoms is the same on all models , so can someone give me the distance from the door to the top of the trim strip (or even better, to the clip hole center) .

Would anybody know a good source for aftermarket fenders for my 39 business coupe? Can't find anything other than Chevy fenders! Are they interchangeable with Chevy at all? Any help would be great! Cheers, Marc

The 49-'52 sedan deliveries were so bare-bones commercial they didn't even come with a right hand taillight, so after searching for many years to find an OEM taillight bracket to no avail- I decided to build one. The t.l. is easy to find but the stand is contoured to the body so I just used my original le...
